    When they removed Lemon caper grey sole from their menu I lost interest. But when I was scouting out restaurants for my birthday I saw that it was mostly back and, therefore, so am I. Choose seared sole with lemon and crispy caper sauce. Coupled with whipped potatoes and broccoli it is lovely. Sole is tricky so I only trust Legal and myself to cook it right.

    Took my girlfriend to eat for valentines evening, heard great things about the restaurant and I enjoyed my time there. We both had the chicken parmesan and the portion size was excellent. For 25 we both had leftovers and the food was delicious. Noise level was very high, but I figured that was due to the occasion. Definitely would want to dine here again.

    Our waiter, Felipe, was terrific. Timely service and we never felt rushed. Cocktails were excellent. We started with the fried calamari appetizer, which was very large and not the least bit greasy. Our steaks, filet mignon and NY strip, were cooked perfectly as ordered and their sides are large enough for two people. Not inexpensive, but a great restaurant for special occasions.

    We were the last reservation of the night. The service was attentive, and the food was very tasty. I had the pumpkin Kibby, which made me happy. The shrimp risotto is also very good. Seasoned well The cocktails were made very well and were different. Than a shopping plaza but definitely feels different on the inside. Nice ambience. Did not feel rushed to leave. We’ll go back again.
